Hi

We are in the process of selling our MX-5 which has a Private Reg Plate, how do we go about selling it and where would be the best place to advertise it?

Thanks for any advice.

Are you selling it with or without the private plate? If you're selling without, put the number on retention at DVLA, cost £80, and then advertise it on Autotrader, Gumtree or ebay - be prepared for time-wasters and fraudsters.

I would have thought you’d get more selling the car and plate separately, less chance someone would want both.

Thanks for the replies Guys and advice...will be selling the plate separately but have no idea what it would be worth, is there a website that might be able to help on this?

Thanks again

Tried that site but as predicted they offered £400 to buy a Reg which could be used as a girls name . That seems to be the price unless you go for auction.
But which firm is recommended in that case ?
